Know Your Rights

In light of recent ICE raids striking our community unexpectedly, fear and uncertainty are on the rise. But knowledge is power, and understanding your rights is the essential first step in combating misinformation and protecting yourself from unlawful detainment.

We're inspired by LANA’s FB Livestream Tuesday night, featuring an insightful Q&A session with immigration lawyer Kane Vongsavanh and translator Maly Phommaving. Additionally, we’re excited to collaborate with fellow immigrant organizations in Philly—AAU, Vietlead, Juntos, and CAGP—to create a comprehensive Know Your Rights resource. Available in English, Simple Chinese, Spanish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Khmer, and now Lao! 📚✨

Please share this post, which is also translated into Lao, with anyone in our community who may be anxious about their status. Don’t forget to check out these KYR printouts which includes an 8.5x11 PDF that you can print and cut out as handy cards for communicating with immigration officers outside your door. Together, we stand strong!
